Multi-purpose tool

Abstract

A multi-purpose tool operated by a user for storing, opening, cutting, clamping and holding of articles is provided. The multi-purpose tool includes a first shear, a second shear movably coupled to the first shear at a pivot point and a ratchet extending from each finger grip. Each shear includes a finger grip, cutting edges, tines and gripping tips. Further, the multi-purpose tool includes ratchet extending from respective finger grips. Each ratchet having a plurality of ratchet teeth defined therein, the ratchets extending towards each other. The first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are adapted for extending around the article in a firm grip by engagement of the ratchets in order to clamp the article between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A multi-purpose tool operated by a user for storing, opening, cutting, clamping and holding of articles comprising:
 a first shear comprising:
 a first finger grip for receiving at least one finger of a user; 
 a first tine extending from the first finger grip; 
 a first cutting edge extending from the first tine having a first curved inner surface front end; 
 a first gripping tip attached to the front end of the first cutting edge; and 
 
 a second shear movably coupled to the first shear at a pivot point comprising:
 a second finger grip for receiving at least one finger of the user; 
 a second tine extending from the second finger grip positioned substantially parallel to the first tine, wherein the inner surface of the first tine and the second tine curved to form a first opening adjacent to the pivot point for opening of articles; 
 a second cutting edge extending from the second tine having a second curved inner surface front end, wherein the first curved inner surface front end and the second curved inner surface forms a second opening for holding substantially smaller articles; and 
 a second gripping tip attached to the second cutting edge for gripping of articles against the first gripping tip; and 
 
 a ratchet extending from each finger grip, each ratchet having a plurality of ratchet teeth defined therein, the ratchets extending towards each other; 
 wherein the first shear and the second shear are adapted for extending around the article in a firm grip by engagement of the ratchets in order to clamp the article between the first shear and the second shear. 
 
     
     
       2. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  wherein the first opening stores at least one article when the first finger grip is far from the second finger grip, further the article moves over at least one of the finger grips to store in the first opening. 
     
     
       3. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising a ruler bar on at least one of the first cutting edge; and the second cutting edge. 
     
     
       4. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising an oxygen key attached to at least one of the finger grips. 
     
     
       5. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising a bottle opener configured in the inner surface of at least one of the finger grips. 
     
     
       6. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising a screw driver tip configured on the outer surface of at least one of the finger grips. 
     
     
       7. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising:
 a light source protruding from the outer surface of at least one of the finger grips; and 
 a power source configured in between at least one of the tine and at least one of the respective finger grips to power the light source. 
 
     
     
       8. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  further comprising a carabineer configured in between at least one of the tines and at least one of the respective finger grips to secure articles. 
     
     
       9. The multi-purpose tool according to  claim 1  wherein the user depresses the finger grips to clamp a part of the article in between the ratchets.
